So what happened?

The graveness of the situation of course depends on where he would wear those socks

Hi Jimbo,

lately there has been some other thread where someone mentioned that he has been fired and how much problems come along with that.
Not that I would like to compare these two guys with each other ....

How many hours would that guy have to clean your or anybody elses house to afford such a nice straight-razor? Don´t know but probably quiet some time I guess?

Even if he´d have saved that much money he would probably never be able to spend it on a straight-razor?

Just thinking.....

Why don´t you place the razor, the strop and some antisepticum on a table in room that guy ususally cleans while he is in your house.
Right next to it a piece of paper and a pen. Maybe you scribble a note on the paper like "NOW YOU!".

I mean, come on! Who has not dreamed of taking seat in a Porsche 911 which does not belong to yourself?
I have touched things that did not belong to me without asking

Just that he has screwed around with your Friodur doesn´t make him a diseased minded underwear sniffer?!!?!?

As you said, most people did get a second chance on something and were glad and grateful for that!?!

I would at least ask him what he was thinking while he has messed around with the razor, mentioning it´s value, the hygenic issues and the point of trust that you have had in him and at last that he has dulled it.

Maybe it´s something like a childhood-dream of him to own and use a straight-razor but he couldn´t afford one?

As far as I can tell, mostly people tread you like you tread them.
If not on the same social level, the lower level has to bow and is looking for a way to pay back your "misbehavior" later.

Have you treated him well?
Then there might be the chance that he has not shaved his crotch with your Friodur
Maybe it´s not even half as bad as someone here would like to point it out?


My girlfriend has once cut off buttons from her leatherjacket once with one of my favorite, freshly honed straight-razor. I didn´t kick her out for that


Do as you please!
You are the man in charge!

Converse with him and find out if he is the culprit .
Offer to teach him the art of Str8 Shaving if he is interested. Give him a freshly honed razor with cheap strop, starter brush,mug and soap.
Train him and then sever(no pun) your professional relationship.

Sorry I haven't posted sooner - yesterday turned out busier than expected. I haven't been able to get hold of him - left a message on his service, but no reply yet.

I'm going away for the weekend this morning, and so probably won't be able to resolve this until Monday.

James.

All around this is just a terrible situation. If I were to trust a cleaner w the keys to my house I would expect him/her to not be snooping in my stuff. My instincts would be to can the cleaner but ....it may have been curiosity. I would want to see hear back from the cleaner and take my decision after a chit chat

If this happend to me , I would have to fire the guy . Not only did he screw up your razor and strop , the main issue is that he violated your trust . Once someone violates my trust , I will never trust them again . When I was a child , I was a super snooper , but that's normal childish curiosity . A grown adult should know better .

Sorry that happened to you James.

It seems disturbing that people would do that while they have been entrusted with your values of the house. People's inquisitive actions puzzle me sometimes... It is just like people staring at that red button that they know they should not touch.

etc etc....

Really great post !

Like Scarface (Germany)... I am sure there was no malice intended...

Most people who see my razors (anyones razors, i guess) immediately want to touch them... they are a fascinating object, particularly for men. I would think the temptation to look and touch would be overwhelming.

I imagine he's had a chop at stropping the razor, just to see what it's like, and it hasn't worked out too well... the fact that it was the most expensive razor in your drawer is truly unfortunate (i feel you pain) but probably the most likely outcome... it no doubt stands out among the others and would be the first one anyone would pick up to have a look at.

Others have raised the issue of trust and their comments are well valid, but personally I lean toward this being at the lesser serious end of the scale as far as violations go.

Going from clumbsily man-handling your razors to shaving his jatz-crackers while whistling show tunes is a stretch too far for me... mind you, I'm just a simple country mouse.

The weekend to calm down may alter your posture... i dunno

Come on man! He actually had to go through his drawers to find the razor!
That is a blatant breach of trust!!!
